William Lowe Bryan President-Emeritus William Lowe Bryan is a shining example of leadership of which Indiana University and the state of Indiana can be proud. A native Hoosier, he was born in a frame farmhouse only two miles from Bloomington. Dr. Bryan entered Indiana University in 1880, receiving his A.B. degree in 1884 and his A.M. in philosophy in 1886. He served as an associate professor of Greek at I.U. for a year before doing graduate work in Germany and at Clark University, from which he was granted his Ph.D. in 1892. He served for a time as vice-president of I.U. and was installed as the 10th president of Indiana University on January 23, 1902. He resigned on March 15, 1937, after serving as Indiana's president for 35 years—a truly remarkable record. Although he is 95 years old, Dr. Bryan has remained active in Indiana's activities and in Bloomington civic affairs. The grand old man of Indiana—he has always stood for high ideals in the academic world. We are proud to have such an outstanding man in our University association.
